Admittedly, my group of friends are not the kindest group of kids on campus. Not that we dislike people, we’re just bored and value our own amusement more than the feelings of others, it’s a conscious decision. When sports and alcohol come into the equation things can go downhill fast, and they did.
A friend of mine, let’s call him “Daniel”, is a die hard Philadelphia Phillies fan. After watching the Phillies take game 5 of the World Series from my Yankees, Daniel was not satisfied to only rub the victory in my face, but took his celebration to the streets. When an unknown man felt brave enough to argue with him about how great he believes the Phillies are Daniel, didn’t get mad, instead he decided to share some of a popcorn care package his mom had sent him that very same day with his newly found rival. Though the mystery Yankees fan had never asked for any my friend offered the popcorn by way of throwing it at his head as he walked.
My friends, the concerned individuals we are, asked Daniel why he had to go so far out of his way to be cruel to this stranger. Daniel responded that the fan never asked him to stop, only silently regretted ever having said anything opposing the winning team. He learned a lesson that day, if you lose, stay quiet.
If you’re out there mystery popcorn Yankee fan, I’d like to apologize for the way things unfolded, Daniel will be bathed in popcorn once the Yankees take the series tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed readers.
